Hallowell I had not really planned to go to Bailey's room, but I returned from my meeting with Gerald and I was disturbed. She occupied every crevice of my mind and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't push her away. Well, I assumed Alfred plotting against me might have already led him to take notice of Bailey. What if he already had plans against her? He was so focused on driving her to a corner at the council meeting. And now, I was holding her, touching her, kissing her. It felt like a dream I never wanted to wake up from. I was determined not to hold back this time. I wanted her. I wanted to feel her skin against mine, I wanted to feel her walls gripping me hard. I wanted all of her. I pulled her closer until there was no space left between us. I bit down hard on her bottom lip
